Israeli Occupation Forces Enter Village

I am on the phone with my friend Mansour who lives in a very small village in the West Bank. He called me asking for my assistance with a computer problem he has. As we're speaking, he tells me that the Israeli military has just entered the village shooting guns everywhere and blowing up explosives. Entire families are being forced to exit their homes and stand in the rain while the soldiers are shooting at the villagers some of whom are throwing rocks at them.

"I wish you were here to witness this."
"I wish I was there too. It's just too hard to believe yet I know that this goes on there. How are you feeling?"
"I am angry, of course. My boy is afraid. He keeps asking me if the soldiers will come to our house next. But first I am angry at USA. Why do they support this? Why?"

That's the $1,000,000 question.
